I use Lance 1162, what I understand is older brother of 1172 and am comparing it to Fleetwood that I did not sell yet. 
When side entrance is great during travel, the Lance engineering leaves lot to desire.
Than I do like Lance cabinet locks, light switches, window cranks, where Fleetwood had them less convenient.
The main issue is that Lance shower is couple inches smaller than in Fleetwood, what does make big issue. I know 1172 has different bathrooms, so I hope they improve that.
Bottom line, if there is a camper that works good for me on all the aspects, I did not find it yet.
It is all about compromise, but choosing new RV I would always check if I can turn around in the shower without ripping the curtain apart.
